Thanks for visiting our Bibrave profile! There’s something for everyone this Independence Day in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Red, White & Boom!, presented by Summit Brewing Company.

The event features a post-race grill and picnic with hot dogs and veggie dogs, Old Dutch potato chips, and long-time participant favorite, Kemps All-American Pops, to celebrate the Fourth of July.

All three courses include a bold final mile crossing the iconic, American-flag lined Stone Arch Bridge over the beautiful Mississippi River. We hope you'll kick off your holiday with us!

DAVID SMITH's thoughts:

I was pumped for this even... but leave somewhat disappointed. Below are my notes:

PACKET PICKUP & EXPO:
It was located near St. Paul and hard to get to. I took a train and bus from downtown. At the expo I was given my shirt and bib only... no bag to pre- pack for morning drop. No printed race guide. Small table selling extra race apparel.

RACE AID STATIONS:
Everyone was very nice and helpful. I think the organizer may have added aid stations because of heat and humidity.

SWAG:
Nice tech shirt. There was 1 common medal for all events... 5k, Half Relay & Half.

FINISH LINE:
Strong effort. Water, Gatorade, Chocolate Milk, choice of ice cream, bananas and hotdogs. Also provide a beer of choice from Summit brewing.

VIP EXPERIENCE:
This was a great addition. Bag check was good... but had to walk 0.2 miles each way from Half start to drop off. Extra beer, free massage, fruit bar. Special gift was a beach mat.
